New York Knicks C Mitchell Robinson wants to shoot 3’s

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson has big plans for his summer, including the addition of a three-point shot.
[sc name=”Danny Small Banner”]Mitchell Robinson could be the best thing to come out of the 2018-19 season for the New York Knicks. The second-round center came into his rookie season with a big question mark.
However, the laid-back kid from Chalmette, Louisiana was a revelation for a team that didn’t have much to play for this season. He was a natural in the pick-and-roll and was always a threat for a lob.
That being said, Robinson is looking to add more depth to his offensive arsenal next season.
[sc name=”Knicks Center”]“I want to shoot threes next year,’’ Robinson said to Marc Berman of the New York Post. “That’s not the No. 1 focus [but] really to get stronger, work on my post moves. And then when it gets close to summer league [in July], start bringing in that jump shot.’’
Imagining Robinson with a three-point shot is a scary proposition. Of course, as he admits, he has other areas of his game he wants to focus on.
However, the three-point shot is becoming increasingly important in the modern game. While it’s not a necessity for rim-running bigs to become high-efficiency three-point shooters, it’s never a bad thing.
Robinson’s offensive game will always be predicated on rim rolls and second-chance points, the sky is the limit for him. Should he add a reliable three-point stroke to his game, head coach David Fizdale can mix in some pick-and-pop to keep defenses on their toes.
